Php photo gallery TWG | JFUploader | TWG Flash upload | WFU | Forum

hi guys

i'd like to set things so photos can't be saved/printed from the site (wanting to use it for staff ID photos & can't let them be taken off the server) - i've disabled downloads, but using MS IE you can still save/print/etc using right-click or just hover over the pic.

has anyone got thoughts on how this could be achieved (remembering i'm not a php guru)

thanks for any help

You can disable right click with javascript

set

$disable_right_click=false;

to

$disable_right_click=true;

use 1.6 rc2 from the forum!

Thanks Michael - worked great for the right click!

Small problem though - when the mouse hovers over a selected image we still get a small GUI help bar appear at the top left of the image with icons for save, mail, print etc - is there a way to disable this?

Thanks for your help so far.

Phil

no - but you can always turn of Javascript and save the image - use watermarks

Trouble is we are wanting to use it for staff ID photos and can't let them be taken off the server - it's not a copyright problem, it's a security issue.

Any thoughts or suggestions as to how we could go about this?

then Internet is not the right thing - everyone can always make a screenshot no way to prevent this.

Thanks for responding Michael

Actually it is on an isolated intranet - yep, they can screen dump, but the resolution goes to the dogs - what we are trying to stop is the "Save..." option which will still give them an image with reasonable res.

Any thoughts?? - personally I'm agreeing with you, you can't stop people if they have half a brain, but I just want to exhaust all possabilities before I pull the pin.

Thanks

Phil

if you use twg - disable the download if images - then only the images displayed on the detail page can be ""copied" and there it does not matter if you use save as or make a screenshoot.

Resolution is the same

Thanks for your help.

I had already disabled the image download from within TWG - it was the image toolbar that was getting up my nose.

Found out that it is simply a meta tag that turns it off.

Add the following to inc/head.inc.php & the toolbar is disabled for all pages :-


This combined with has provided what I was after.

Thanks again for your help
